Yahoo! Messenger with Voice 8.0.506 Beta

[mancode20]

I'm currently using the newest 8.0 beta 506 build, and I like it so far but just incase I decide to fall back on the more stable version 7.5, does anyone have an offline installer link to the newest 819 build?

you can change it to a blue skin or clasic skin < the clasic skin uses your OS GUI as it's look>

Really? Changing Yahoo's skins has no effect on it. Still purple.

Personally, I rather them fix the nickname bug. And the bugs people experence with display pictures.

Although, with the iTunes plugin, I don't like the purple skin it has.

Is the nickname bug not in the newest version 7.5 build 819? Would really appreciate if someone could tell me this. Thanks!

As far as I know, it's in the 8.0 beta.

I know it's in the 8.0 beta. That's what I'm using. I want to know if it's in the 7.5 stable version? I'm guessing it's not by the way you worded that. Please confirm. Thanks!

I don't remeber that bug being there.

[Boo Berry]

No, 7.5 dosen't have this bug.

Has anyone submitted feedback on it yet?

I like the 8.0 Beta a lot and even managed to skin it up a bit to my desire. I'm using the Codename: Opus DeviantArt skin so I wanted it to have a nice dark/forest green look and I got that :)

My biggest gripe with the overall program is that I cannot open Web Links in Firefox or IE. If a contact sends me a link and I click on it, the Messenger folder opens. It's extremely annoying and it's happening in all version I've had isntalled. Maybe something from my computer? Anyway, nice program but I want the web links to work :(

I also have a similar problem. If I click on the purple mail icon within messenger, my current browser that's already open with at least one tab (Opera 9.0 and Neowin) comes to the forefront and acts like it's going to load the yahoo mail page, but it never does. Now if I close the browser and then do it, it works the way it should by loading the mail page in a new tab. Anyone know how to fix this?

Has anyone ran into the bug with 7.5 and 8.0 where the chat filter stays on even if you select none?

Uses too much memory.

I went back to 7.0. (~20mb usage)

8.0 was 50-60mb

Too much for just wanting to chat.

Mine is using 24, 976K. It's just sitting there with no chat windows open. I wonder how much 7.5 uses?

That's pretty jumpy. I'm going to reinstall 8.0 and see again.

I didn't see any way to get rid of the plugins thing though.

[Tech_Dude_5000]

what do you mean jumpy?

[nshahzad]

what do you mean jumpy?

I'm getting about 50mb usage, now I just reinstalled the 8 beta, its down to about 35, someone said they're getting 4mb usage, i was getting 25 before, now it jumped upto 70...

err

[nshahzad]

It went to 44mb, now it's at 52mb. Minimized to tray.

I'm trying to find place to contact the dev team or send feeback, but can't fin anything

[mancode20]

Thanks for posting the direct link to 7.5! I'm trying to figure out which one I'm going to use. As far as I can tell there's at least 3 versions, right? The newest of course being the 8.0 beta (Build 506), then 7.5 (Build 819) That's a released, stable version? So if you don't want to use the beta, that's the one to use? There's probably no reason to mess with 7.0 then? Although I'm assuming it probably has the lowest memory usage. What's the newest 7.0 build? I have 7.02 (Build 120)

[Boo Berry]

Mines only using 13MB.

Afterall it's still in beta. ;)

[Tech_Dude_5000]

I bet the reason why it uses so much memory and takes up so much space is becuase of the plug ins. They should have a option of having the plug ins enable or not.

MY version 7.0 used about 35, and so did 7.5

Probably, but it shouldnt use an extra 20mb with no plugins loaded..

[jameseuk]

I've always found Yahoo messenger to take up more space then MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger,not really sure why Yahoo feel the need to do that as it doesnt even look as good

[mancode20]

Can someone give me the link for 8.0.505 beta? Build 506 seems to have a bug. Whenever I'm listening to music on LAUNCHcast, a lot of the times it doesn't change my status to the song. It seems to happen when I'm invisible, and then I come back and try to listen to music. It always puts my status as available. I'll even go up and set it to the song that's playing, and then the next song changes it to available. I don't think 505 did this. Has anyone else experienced this?
